I think this looks good and I support Keith's edits.

At least for the Naming CWG. NTIA's request included transition planning and associated timeframes...including finalization and implementation.

We request that you and the three primary customer working groups provide us with your views before the end of June, which will give you the opportunity to discuss these issues with the multistakeholder community at the June ICANN meeting in Argentina. In providing this feedback, please keep in mind that the United States Government will need sufficient time to evaluate the proposal and that all work items identified either by the ICG and the CCWG-Accountability as prerequisites for the transition will need to be implemented prior to the ending of the contract."

From start to finish, approximately how many weeks or months do you think your community will need to complete the COMPLETE PROPOSAL DEVELOPMENT AND implementation of these aspects?"
